Another example of the rats (Establishment Republicans) scurrying to protect their special interests before Donald Trump becomes President.
Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest bribers/donors in Washington D.C. and one of the biggest sugar daddy special interests for John McCain and Lindsay Graham.

This was one of the dumbest pieces of legislation ever to pass in Congress. You knew this was the case when it was passed with nearly unanimous support.
There was no way in hell any foreign government would be subject to civil lawsuits in U.S. courts, regardless of what this law said.

You must be one of those that support the absurd idea of a “World Court.”
Of course foreign governments can be subject to a US court. If they wish to sell us their products, or their citizens wish to travel here.
Simple.

Right.
How much money are you willing to pony up when the U.S. government is successfully sued in an Iraqi, Libyan, Syrian, or Egyptian court for $500 trillion?

P.S. -- It really takes a pathetic sh!t pile of a country to sue another country for its alleged involvement in terrorist attacks on U.S. soil that killed thousands of people.
If the government of Saudi Arabia had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks, the country should have been obliterated from the map, not sued in a civil court.

It’s hard to blow up a country when you’re holding the hand of the king on your ranch in Texas.

So you believe that the citizens of a monarchist country should have to die for the clandestine actions of their masters?
Now that’s real justice!

Of course not. I'm being rhetorical here. LOL.
My point is that a country that responds to an act of war by filing lawsuits in a civil court is a pathetic one, indeed. It takes a country run by lawyers to come up with a law as dumb as that one.

All that they have the power to extract from us (i.e. NONE.)
You really don’t understand these things, do you!

Oh, OK. So let’s go around the world suing everybody like a bunch of simpering fags.

Fail!
It is a means of working through our own legal system to extract wealth from those that only understand wealth.

Then you really can’t object when they work through our own legal system to protect themselves using those who only understand wealth (i.e., buying Congressmen), right?

They’ve been doing it as long as I’ve been alive.
The bill at least allows some turnabout.

This is Trump’s problem and why he has to operate in the extreme. The Republicans will oppose him along with and taking their lead from the Democrats.
